Since 2014, Public Release has been enlisting the raw, trademark groove of Richard Sen on a variety of now- renowned remixes. Label boss Eug has cited him in numerous interviews as being one of his all-time favourite producers, so it was inevitable that a solo EP would eventually materialize. That time has finally come, and in the Spring of 2022, the UK legend drops his solo EP “My Definition of Funk” on Public Release.

These three raw, gritty, hard-hitting, peak-time tracks are quintessential Richard Sen, combining the energy and influences of post-punk, breaks, and house in one sturdy sonic package.

A1 Give a little help (Skylevel edit)

B1 Leftovers (Ben Aksar edit)
B2  Meet Me Tonight (Skylevel edit)

Hereís your favourite funky airline company and weíre about to board the plane for journey no. 7.
A1 sees the captain addressing the passengers in his most charismatic voice while the cabin crew is, well, pumping an irresistible in the air drumbreak over a partly sunny partly funky bassline.
Flip it over to B1 and watch stunt Flyer Ben Aksar turns his ìLeftoversî into an intercontinental  airshow while B2 elegantly shifts gears between a cloudy nightflight and the clear blue sky.

Walking The Midnight Streets

GET SET RMX.m4a

Way back when Kraftwerk invented the very first machine, they never could have dreamt of how technology would go on to overwhelm our lives and turn us all into machine-dependent drones. Actually, maybe they did exactly that but we just decided not to listen. Either way, the revolution of the machine has well and truly taken place and we'll have to just spend from now until eternity bowing down to our new electronic overlords.

The Emperor Machines, if you will.

As we seek to find new ways to worship our glorious binarian leaders, the very best thing we can do is throw ourselves head-first into the machines and see what we can make of all their fancy features. They're actually not too bad once you get to know them and there's plenty of top quality music to be heard from them thar machines. Why don't you delve in and give it a try?

A1 Nature Yourself
A2 Beat One Project
B1 Got To Know
B2 Converge

For the fifth release on his label, Marseille-based Grant builds on his distinct brand of deep, luscious electronics with four cuts of smooth, atmospheric house.

The opening track 'Nature of Yourself' is an emotional late night burner, reminiscent of early releases on the seminal Paper recordings. Velvet, spiralling synths scatter throughout. 

The A2 sees Grant go on a tribal trip with the soft and dreamy 'Beat One Project' as dream-like pads collide with percussive interjections.

The B-side kicks into gear with 'Got To Know', a fresh spin on a classic house stomper which then morphs into 'Converge', a deep, acid voyage that will take you places.

Fever EP

Fever

In October 2018 DJ Rocca and Almunia member Leo Ceccanti joined forces to deliver “Rhythm Collision”, a three-track EP of jangling, sun-kissed grooves, psychedelic dub disco and Afro-Cosmic flavours on Really Swing. 18 months on, one of that set’s standout cuts has been given a new lease of life courtesy of fellow Italian producer Alessandro Pasini AKA Deep 88.

Since making his debut a decade ago, Pasini has earned a reputation as one of house music’s understated heroes – an artist whose hardware driven, retro-futurist take on deep house tends towards the timeless, melodic and atmospheric. With a deep love of turn-of-the-90s dream house, Larry Heard productions and sun-baked chords, his dancefloor-focused productions have often been called Balearic.

It’s perhaps fitting then that his reworks of Rocca and Cecanti’s “Ever Changing Bubbles” are as Balearic as they come. His “Balearic Mix” sets the tone, with Pasini layering trippy, dubbed-out and ear-catching elements – Ceccanti’s eyes-closed electric guitar solos, jangling acoustic guitar chords, warm dub disco bass, echoing spoken word samples, fluttering flute solos, drowsy organ motifs and the pair’s delay-heavy vocals – atop a crunchy, head-nodding, live style beat. While it deviates from the duo’s original version, it inhabits a similar sonic space – albeit in a more dancefloor-friendly way.

Pasini excels himself on the accompanying “Balearic Dub”, stripping the cut back to its raw essentials – drums, metronomic bass –while toughening up the percussion and adding delay-laden instrumental snippets. It’s warm, woozy and otherworldly, with echoing voices, tactile musical motifs and restless delay trails combining to create a suitably hazy and intoxicating mood. By the time the touchy-feely flute and acoustic guitars begin to dance across the sound space, you’ll be lost in the groove and too happy to notice.
